THE RAILWAYS AND THE LAND.
Van wyck Keeps Up the War, in or Out
of the Senate,

of the Senate.
WASHINGTON Cry, May Ex-senator Van
Wyck has addressed a letter to the secretary
of the interior, asking that the Burlington &
Missouri railway be compelled to obey the de-
cision of the supreme court of the United
States and the commissioner of the general
land Office in reference to the location OF lands
in Nebraska granted to it by congress. The
senator in his letter says that the railroad
company, upon completing its road west OF
the Missouri river, fonnd that the land con
tig,Ious to the road for a few sections west
was already purchased or homesteaded, and
asked the court to decide that they should be
allowed to take land in other sections of the
state; that the court supplemented the act of
congress by deciding that while the company
might take land in other sections of the state,
they were required to take half of this land
north OF their track, and half south;
that the company selected a larger portion of
their land on the north than on the south side
of the track, land roamed over the entire
state from the Kansas to the Dakota line,
and many citizens of Nebraska have been
embarrassed thereby

string of valuable racing horses Re-
Gently he wanted to send the animals TO
New Orleans and he proposed shipping
them by the III fated steamer, J. M. White !,
but he couldn't get them ready, so when
the steamer was burned his horses were
not there. Then lie made arrangements
TO ship them by certain train on the
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas rail
road, but he missed the train,~ which a
few hours afterward was wrecked. AT
last he got the racers away and day or
two afterward the stables at Vicksburg
were completely burned with their con-
tents.

The Madras government is about to
engage in the cultivation Of ialap. It
was found that tho plant grows very wen
there, and some years ago a large guam
tity Of tubers were given to private indi-
viduals in order to encourage them TO
grow the remedy. But the demand this
year from tho Madras medical depart
ment was for /, 800 pounds, and only 100
pounds could be obtained. So the gov
ernment has decided to cultivate jalap
itself until such time as private growers
are in position to supply the demand. -

FIRE FIENDl
Logan Visited by Another
Destructive Fire
Which Destroys q Half
Block From the Heart
of Business Centre
And Endangers the Great
er Portion of the City.
The Loss OF Property Estimated At
Over $4,000

On Wednesday night Logan was
visited by the most destructive fire
It has had since the destruction of
the Touring mill Of Keynes & Well
man In August 1856. The flames
was first discovered in the building
occupied by the firm of Cooley &
Miner as mattress factory and
upholstering establishment near
the hour Of midnight, and so rapid
ly did they spread that it was i'm
possible to save but few articles
of their entire stock, consisting of
upholstered and plain furniture
bed mattresses, springs, caskets and
undertaking goods allof which was
destroyed. Their loss will foot up
$1S0O.O0 on which their was an in
surance Of 100000.
Within a few feet of their build
ing stood the Marble shop of
Eisele & McLain, q wooden build
ing, which was soon in u blaze,
and it became apparent would be
destroyed. Efforts were made to
save the contents and few of the
smaller sized monuments were
carried out to place of safety, but
large number Of heavy monu.
ments passed through the fire and
were totally ruined. Their loss is
estimated at $600.00 upon which
there was no insurance. Eastward
of this at u distance of ten or
twelve feet was the two and one
half story building occupied by
/ Work & Baker as a Stove and Tin
Store, which with great portion
of its contents was also destroys | .
They estimate their loss at $25OO.O0
upon which their is an insurance of
1900
The first building close on the
west side of the one in which the
fire originated was one story
building occupied by DR.. Campbell
as an Office, the contents of which
were saved but the building was
burned to the ground, as was also
another one story building occupi-
ed by Wright & Lowery as Law
Office, the contents were also in a
great part saved. From this the
flames communicated to the resi-
denc+ of Mr.. Lafe. Warner, from
which the furniture had been re-
moved, this building was so badly
damaged as to be a total loss. The
fire company was early on the
ground, and worked heroically
aiming not only to save the build
ings but the contents, and to their
efforts, the citizens may attribute
the salvation of the property ofthe
whole square. The building oc-
cupied by Work & Baker was own
ed by our enterprising Merchants
Rochester's Sons and is valued at
$lSO0.OO and insured for 100000.
All the other burned buildings ex-
cept the residence of Mr.. Warner
were owned by Mr.. II. l.. Wright,
and are total loss, not being insur-
ed. Their value was probably
from 81 400 to $1,000.
DR.. Campbell loses on the con-
tents of his Office about 5000.
Whole contents insured for $500.
Mr.. Warner loses on building
and contents $4,000, insured for
500.
Mrs. Haynes, Milliner loses by
damage to stock $500 insured for
$500.
Mr.. McGill, cigar maker, loses on
stock and household goods $500;
no insurance.
A few other parties were damag.
